Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), a leading build-to-rent (BTR) general contractor, announces that land development is underway at Summerfield Cottages, a 265-unit build-to-rent community in Wildwood, Florida. Vertical construction is expected to begin in fall 2026, with first move-ins anticipated in spring 2027.
“Summerfield Cottages reflects the core strengths that define our build-to-rent platform,” said Chris Mancuso, president of Jim Chapman Construction Group. “From early land development through vertical construction, our team is structured to deliver the consistency, reporting discipline and trade partner relationships that institutional owners depend on.”
Summerfield Cottages marks JCCG’s third project with this publicly traded investment firm and highlights the firm’s role as an established BTR general contractor serving institutional owners across the Southeast. JCCG’s disciplined approach emphasizes institutional-grade reporting and subcontractor strength to support predictable, on-time delivery.
JCCG will deliver 265 ranch-style rental homes at Summerfield Cottages, including three distinctive floor plans from its Ranch Cottages for Rent brand. A standout feature of the community is its emphasis on one-level living. Homes will feature primary suites on the main level and one- or two-car attached garages designed to support everyday convenience and comfort. The community will offer two- and three-bedroom layouts ranging from approximately 1,000 to 1,439 square feet, with luxury vinyl plank flooring in main living areas, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and washers and dryers included.
“We understand that success in BTR comes down to predictable execution, durable construction and homes designed specifically for long-term rental performance,” said Jim Chapman, CEO of JCCG. “Communities like Summerfield Cottages showcase how our integrated approach helps clients move efficiently from dirt to doors while protecting both schedule and investment.”
Planned amenities at Summerfield Cottages include a clubhouse, swimming pool and fitness center. The gated community also features sidewalks and streetlights for added peace of mind, while on-site property management and 24-hour emergency maintenance establish a connected and secure neighborhood environment.
Situated in Wildwood, Summerfield Cottages offers residents convenient access to I-75 and the Florida Turnpike, placing them near major employment corridors, healthcare facilities and regional amenities. The community is located just minutes from The Villages and the greater Orlando metro area, providing connectivity to Central Florida’s economic and entertainment hubs while maintaining a neighborhood-oriented setting.
